Trump praises 'extraordinary' US-UK alliance

International Desk: US President Donald Trump has said the US and UK have the "greatest alliance the world has ever known".

In a news conference with Theresa May, he promised a "phenomenal" trade deal after the UK leaves the European Union, but added that "everything is on the table" - including the NHS.

Mrs May said the scope of trade talks had to be agreed by both countries.

Mr Trump also said he turned down a meeting with Jeremy Corbyn, who addressed protesters in Westminster.

The US president met Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage at the US ambassador's residence, Winfield House, on the second day of his three-day state visit to the UK.

Mr Farage tweeted that it was a "good meeting" and Mr Trump "really believes in Brexit".
